GERMANY IS REPORTEDLY seeking to deport two Irish citizens for taking part in pro-Palestine protests in Berlin.
Four foreign residents are reported to have been hit with deportation orders, including two Irish citizens – Roberta Murray (31) and Shane O’Brien (29).
Solidarity demonstrations will take place tomorrow in Berlin and Munich in response to the deportation orders.
So this is the Berlin agency of internal affairs trying to expel four people for using the forbidden slogan “from the river to the sea”, for blocking a street in pro-Palestinian protest, and for making (unspecified) anti-semitic statements. The agency also claims the ‘defendants’ were supporters of Hamas. (I put ‘defendants’ in quotes because they are not legally charged with anything.)
Even the Berlin foreigners’ agency says expelling these individuals is not legally justifiable. Three of them are EU citizens are are therefore free to roam anywhere in the EU.

Yeah, I was wondering how they are going to expel an EU citizen.
Germany, like really WTH is wrong with you.
More like one agency in one state in Germany (Berlin acts as a city/municipality and as a state in Germany), in addition to being the capital of Germany.
No, it’s been the stance of all aspects of the German state to defend Israel at all costs. This is not the first incidence, only one in a history of pro-Zionist hate.
So they can only expel them from Berlin? If they can expel them from Germany, then they act on behalf of Germany.
